" Communist Party, USA (CPUSA). representative to Czechoslovakia following the orusa 17th National Convention, for purpose of establishing contact between: ese “Se 7 -

New York by airtel 12/11/59 advised that informant discussed this. matter with Eugene Dennis, chairman of the CPUSA, and that Dennis:.did not commit himself regarding the above proposal. In view of Dennis' present heart condition, informant will obtain the consent of Gus Hall, general =

}secretary of the CPUSA, to,send our ‘second ‘top informant, Ww 6948, on this mission. It was informant's opinion that necessary steps be taken to pre” pare NY .694-S to make this: trip. He noted that time is of the essence. inasmuch as this trip would. probably be between Christmas and New Years.

. CG 582h-S feels that this trip will establish a courier system between the

_\CPUSA and the CPs of China, and Czechoslovakia and the Bureav will be in the

fposition to have control‘over this courier system. It is quite possible that NY 694-S. will also go ‘to Moscow to deliver documents from the 17th National Convention. CG 5824-8 feels that NY 694-S should make this trip under an assumed identity inasmuch as certain leaders of the CPUSA are aware that NY 694-S was involved in the past with the United States State

Department in passport irregularities. This informant obtained a passport

: on 6/11/32, fraudulently under the namé. John William Fox. In addition, in

' China, Czechoslovakia, and Soviet Union, would feel more secure if NY :694-S

who. is a traveling salesman working tho New York area. A bank account will be established for informant under the assumed ‘name with $3,000 of the Solo funds at the Chemical Bank-New York Trust Company, New York City, where George Burlinson is assistant vice president, ‘This account can be. used by informant in obtaining credit cards to further legitimatize his new identity. Burlinson will issue instructions to bank employees that inquiries concerning this. account should be answered that "Brooks" has an account and a good credit rating. In view of informant'!s possession of a New York operator's license, New York does. not believe that informant will need a witness for identification in applying for his passport. However, in event one is needed, New York requests that an Agent of the New York Office be used. 88. 8, witness and this Agent would not indicate his FBI employment.

| OBSERVATIONS :

. It would be to our advantage to have NY 69},-8 receive this assign- ' mént which will quite likely result in the establishment of a courier

| system between the GPs of: Czechoslovakia and China. In effect, the Bureau.

| Will be in the position of controlling this apparatus and’ obtaining all

Ι information developed.

| During informant's stay in China, Wang Chia~hsing, head of tthe -

| International Liaison Department..of the CP of China, offered the CPUSA

: $25,000 ‘within two months and $100,000 within six months. The money is to

| be delivered in Prague with the proviso that the CPs of Czechoslovakia

| and the Soviet Union: not be advised of this arrangement. We will attempt to prevent the Gelivery of this money by instructing our informant to point out to Eugene Dennis and/or Gus Hall that the Russians would be incensed if they learn of this arrangement and that sufficient funds are being

' paceived from, the Soviet Union. Informant will be instructed to: obtain. permission to gracefully decline this money. It is belkeved' that the CPUSA leaders will recognize the possibility of damaging its relations. with the CP, Soviet Union, and will agree to informant!s suggestion.

: Our relations with Mr. Robert. Jélrson of the Passport Office of

‘ the. Department of State are svich that we will ‘be able t6 assure that the ~ passport application for inforiiant in the nae-"Jack Brooks" will be issued promptly without risk to the, informant. ‘Throtighi- arrangements with fi ; Mr. Johnson in December, 1958, wé. obtained. ἃ passport for CG S8alixs ‘itn’ cone: 2+

jhegtion with his second Solo mission. On this request Johnson was’ merely | advised that we were interested ‘in’ seeing that this individual received a !

3. ‘Whethér to..adopt an entirely new constitution

or to atiend the old constitution and to what extent the concept

of democratic centralism should be set out in the constitution.

CHILDS also explained that the entixe National

Committee had been elected by the convention and that he, CHILDS, was elected: to the National Coumittee. CHILDS also

explained that. the districts. were. pexmitited to nominate persons’ as National Committee representatives from their districts and that some of those recommended by BEN DAVIS and his supporters as representatives fron the New York District were défedted. As a result of this BEN DAVIS at first refused to serve as a national officer of the Party.

While DAVIS. finally. ‘consented, the Lengthy argument prevented ‘the election of the National Executive Committee at the first

meeting of the National Committeé. Thus the National Executive Committeé will not be elected until the new National Committee

meets some time ‘in March, 1960

On this CHILDS started to list some complaints. He again reminded[_______] that the cP, USA, wanted LOUIS WEINSTOCK, to attend the ‘Congress of the.

Opinions of CG 5824 Sk

It: appears obvious that{_———_—has received additional instructions from Moscow since the last meeting | dn November, 1959. It also appears obvious that the CPSU. plans to. carry through on all ofitk promises to the CP, USA, and that this operation is the only official contact between the CPSU and the cP, USA.

The Red Chinese have indicated that they will furnish up to $100,000 to the GPUSA by Aprti, 1960, with immediate delivery of $25,000.

through hia dtacusstons with Liu Shao-chi and other top Chinese offictal 4, { he developed valuable tntelligence information regarding Chinese foretgn Poltcy, tts attitude toward Soutet Russia, the differences existing between China and the Soutet Unton and China's attitude toward membership tn the United Nattons. 43 a result of infornant's contacts with leading functtonartes of the CFs of Latin American nattons as well as leading CP functtonartes of Spatn and Japan, tnhformant developed excellent intelli- gence information concerning the acttultties of these CPs such as the extenstve tnftltrattion by Cuban communists tnto the Cuban Cabinet and Armed Forces, the pact existing between CP of Argentina and the Perontsts and successfully established methods for matntaining future contacts with these CPs, thus assuring the Bureau of a flow of important intelligence information tn the future.

OBSERVATIONS: .

2. The outstanding information developed as a result of Solo mission Number 3 is due to a large extent to the excelient and careful planning of this operation both tn the fteil and at the Seat of Government. Prior to informant 's departure on this mission, the Seat of Government prepared with the Director's approval specific targets for the informant to accomplish which resulted in our obtaining this oustanding and specific informavton.

2. This information is of tnestimable value to the Bureau and the Government not only from an intelligence standpoint but of considerable aid to the President and the Secretary of State in our country's dealings with other nations, particularly the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Japan and Latin AmePican nations. This information would not be available through any other source and certainly represents the most outstanding achtevement tn the Bureau's tnternai security fteld. fhe information tneluded such matters as the current thinking of Russta and Red China, our most powerful potential. enemies, Czechoslovakian activittes itn the U.S., the campaign intttated by the CP of Japan against renewal of the securtty treaty between the U.S, and Japan and CP activities tn Spain, Cuba and Argentina,

{ | ] Ι , Ι | { :

ἱ 3. It ts quite tmportant to note that informant was able to [ establish future contacts with the CPs in numerous Latin American and ! European countries as well as Red China which should aasure our recetuing . valuable tinformatton in the future concerning these CPs.

᾿ς telating to the. CPUSA as well as mtters relating to tnternattonal ᾿ς sapfatra were followed closely by the informant and resulted tn our obtatn- i ‘tng the specific valuable information furntshed by informant,

Immedtately prior to the scheduled departure of informant for Ὁ Solo number 3, his wife who has suffered from tneurable cancer for some time worsened and tnformant was naturally reluctant to travel for an extended pertod of time without her, This problem was resolved by the Bureau through the preparation of a suitable birth certificate for tnforment's wife and through arrangements which enabled her to recetve a passport almost tmmedicately.

During Solo mission number 3, Informant developed specific and detailed information concerning activities and plans of CPs in a number of countrtes. He met and had tntimate discusstons with such top-level communist leaders as Liu Shao-chta, president of Red China; Tang Ming~ chao of the International Liaison Department, Central Committee, CP of China; Wang Chia-hsiang, head of the International Department, CP of China; Mao Tse-tung, head of the CP of China; Li Fu~chun, utce~chatrman of China; Otto Kuustnen of the Presidium of the CPSU; Boris Ponomareuv, head of the Internationa] Department, CPSU; Hikhail Suslov, member of the Presidium, CPSU; and Nikolai Mostovets, head of the North and South American Secttons,. Tatemational Department, CPSU. In addition, informant had personal. contact with Harry Pollitt, chairman, CP of Great Britain; Zutz Carlos Prestes, CP of Braztl; Apostolos Grozos, chairman of CP of Greece; Khaled Bakbash, leader of the CP of Syrta; Tzaut Breitste of the CP of Israel; George Pirinsky of the CP of Bulgaria; Doloros Ibarruri, secretary general of the CP of Spain; and Antbal Escalante, secretary of the CP of Cuba; Victorto Codovtlia of the GP of Argentina; and Gustav ‘Soucek, head of the. International Department of the Central Commtttee of the CP of Czechoslovakia.

The following are some of the specific results of Solo number [

I. Informant established himself as the CP's international contact with the GPSU, Chinese ΟΡ and other CPs of the world and establish= θὰ means of contact with many CPs for communication purposes.

2, Informant re-established direct contact in the U.S. between Soviets and the CPUSA for transmtttal of communtcations and funds which contact had been discontinued earlier by the Soviets. A contact was made as a reault of this arrangement on 11-25-59.

3. The tnformant has completed preliminary steps for an apparatus for dtreet contacts with the CP of China at Prague, Czechoslovakia, and for dtrect contact between the GP of China and the CPUSA for funds. This apparatus 8 under conatderatton by the CPUSA and wilz possibly tnuolve our second top informant, XY 694-S, if the CPUSA

4, Informant determined that the Soviet Union will furnish $200,000 to the CPUSA for 1960 and that the CP of China has offéred to furnish $100,000 to the CPUSA within the next etx months.

5. As a result of lengthy discussions with top-ranking Chinese offictals, informant developed tnformatton which should be of assistance to the President during his trip to Southern Europe and Southeast Asia.

6, He determined through hts visit to Chtna and the Soutet Union the Chinese attttude toward the Soutets and circumstances tndtcating that there are definite differences between these countrtes as they relate to foreign poltctes and interna] affairs. He was able to determine that the Chinese foreign policy ta, "Do not give the imperialist a respite.”

7. He determined through contact with the secretary of the CP of Cuba that the Cuban revolution is fundamentally deeper than tt appears and that the left ts tn the Armed Forces and tt 18 making inroads tnto the Cabinet.

8. Asa result of discussions with Soviet leadership he determined that the Souvtets conatder the most tmportant problem that of developing a new relationship between the USA and the U.S.8.R, and that they are wtiltng to make concesstons tn a dtplomatic sense but not tn an tdeologica] sense,

9. Informant determined that President Eisenhower will get a tremendous receptton tn Moscow and that the Soutet people are genutnely fond of the President,

10. He determined through conversations with the chairman of the 1 CP of Japan that this CP is tntttating a campaign tn coalition with the Soctalist Party against the Japanese - Amertcan security treaty and agatnst U.S. milttary bases on Japanese soil.

‘The above: examples certainly indicate the extraordinary value of the information developed by our informant during this third Solo mission. It 18 impossible to put a money value on the tnformation received as it would not be available through any other source. This information which has been disseminated on a. high level will certainly enhance the Bureau's reputation as the world’s leading tntelligence agency.
